Auto-load an array

[Anon]

Can anyone assist with loading an array through a built in php function? It\'s pretty obvious when the data is keyed right into the array, but I want to be able to \"auto-load\" the array.

For example:

Using the date(\"d\"), I want to be able to load all valid values of date(\"d\") into an array...

Appreciate the input...

You'll need to explain more about what you want to do.

I want to use the date("d") function to identify all the days of a month 1 - 31...

Using just date("d") I will get today's number day, example 23 for today.

I want to load all of these numbers into an array (I think) to then populate a drop down box and default select today's number day..

I know I can key all these numbers in an array, but I want to try and see it work the other way...

Thanks in advance

Ah, so you want use a FOR loop to create an array with values 1-31, and then put 'selected' in the OPTION tag taht contains the same value as date('d')?

EXACTLY! Is that goofy? I am supposing I could use the same theory or logic to apply in other scenario's, but all I ever see if folks manually keying the information into an array setup...

Not goofy, just a little redundant.
The days of the month never change, so why 'waste' CPU time to create the same array over and over. You may aswell hardcode it into the source.
